KEA
"Most people here just constantly grind, that just inspires me to works hard and I'm built on that myself, who likes lazy people?"
Brand new E.P from multi-faceted Birmingham artist Kea. 'STIGMA III' completed the trilogy and see's him deliver some of his finest work to date with features from nineteen97 and more.
The fresh new body of work is also accompanied by visuals for 'Undazed', while a music video for 'LED Lights' is also in the works.
NEO: Hi Kea, congratulations on your newest EP release ’STIGMA III’ ! What was your main inspiration behind the release?
Kea: It was just life itself. My experiences and all I've wanted to create, as you can tell the genres vary & that is just what I've been listening to/taken notice of.
NEO: Where did your artist name come from?
Kea: My initials, KEA.
NEO: Where are you from and how does that affect your work?
Kea: I'm from Birmingham. Most people here (the ones that I know lol) just constantly grind, that just inspires me to works hard and I'm built on that myself, who likes lazy people?
NEO: If you had a controller that had the power to rewind or fast forward which one would you press and why?
Kea: Rewind, I'd save all the money I've ever wasted and then not spend it stupidly lol. It'd help so much man, I don't regret it but you can always do better with certain things.
NEO: If you could open a show for any artist who would it be?
Kea: I don't know, that wouldn't particularly excite me as it's performing but What would excite me is meeting certain artists: Frank Ocean, Erykah Badu, Andre 3000 & Dwele.
NEO: Out of all the songs in your recent EP, which is your favourite?
Kea: My fav is Unfazed, it started from nothing. Literally, Off Key built the base, Slater Bailey on the bass, Neisha added the lovely backing vocals & Browny Pondis just killed his verse.
NEO: What is your favourite album of all time, no skips?
Kea: My fav album would have to be GKMC, TLOP or Blonde. However, I'm skipping a few songs but if we're talking no skips, Dwele - Some Kinda.
NEO: What would you like to achieve before your next birthday?
Kea: I'm unsure, I've achieved what I wanted to this year so I'm happy but I need to achieve more, what that is...I don't know.
NEO: If you had a super power what would it be and why?
Kea: I can't pick one, I'd pick Adam Warlocks powers though if I could. An invincible type of character, even Omni Man himself.
NEO: What’s next for you?
Kea: I'm unsure, I'll stay working. That's all. If I could tell you then it wouldn't be of any significance.
